6:01 am
difficult given the large police presence around this building. we counted at least a dozen police vehicles and the medical examiner. this happened around 3:20 this morning. the man was found dead in the lobby. police have not determined or at least not saying what led up to this person's murder. bob redell, "today in the bay." after weeks ever disagreement legal hearings and heartache the family of the girl that was declared brain dead following complications from a tonsillectomy has taken her from children's hospital oakland. christie smith is live at oakland. where did the family of jahi mcmath take her? >> reporter: you know, they are not revealing that but i can tell you that jahi mcmath was quietly removed from oakland's children's hospital 8:00 last night. the family not saying exactly where they were taking her because they say that they received physical threats of violence, even death threats over this. she was moved more than three
